The process of lengthening the bones in the arms or legs is known as "limb lengthening." This is done gradually so that the soft tissues (skin, muscles, nerves, etc.) and bones grow longer over time. The procedure usually takes many months. It is also possible to combine acute or progressive deformity repair with limb lengthening. The humerus (upper arm bone), radius/ulna (forearm), femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone), and metatarsals (foot bones that impact toe length) are all regularly part of this procedure.

Limb lengthening is a popular procedure used by several thousands of people worldwide, every year. People with contracted limbs or individuals with comparatively short stature often resort to limb lengthening treatment in order to gain a few inches added to the bone. Also known as distraction, limb lengthening can be a bit painful owing to the process by which it is performed. Limb lengthening treatment has been a blessing for innumerable people across the world, since it has blessed them with a healthy lifestyle, made them capable of achieving heights and increased their confidence manifolds.
Unlike other procedures, limb lengthening utilizes the capacity of the body itself to regenerate not only new bone, but also the nerves, tissues and muscles to provide complete support to the newly forming bone.
Limb lengthening surgery is often achieved with the use of internal limb lengthening device. The procedure is performed after providing general anaesthesia, which means the candidate will not feel any pain during the operation. The surgery is achieved by making two holes:
The first one is for insertion of the internal lengthening device
The second one is for cutting the bone, in order to make an additional space for bone regeneration in the gap.
The functioning of the device is checked and monitored before the punctures are sealed. The device can be monitored with the help or a remote which should be used three times per day for a prescribed period of time. The implant or the internal limb lengthening device is usually removed after a period of one or two years, as needed in case of the candidate.
The recovering time from the procedure is achieved after a period of six to nine months. The recovery period depends a lot on the growth rate of the candidate. Besides, it also depends on the follow-up care taken after the surgery, as well as on nutrition intake of the candidate.
